Warzone subsequently launched a mobile version, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, on March 21, 2024.

While it's free-to-play, Warzone offers in-game purchases, such as cosmetics, weapons, and battle passes.

Warzone's servers effectively shut down on September 21, 2023. As announced by Activision, the game is discontinued to focus on development on Warzone 2.0.
